From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Paul Ryan and Joe Biden clashed fiercely in last night's Vice Presidential debate in a contest described by Obama strategist David Axelrod as like "the college principal debating the class president".
Whether Amtrak Joe's performance will be enough to stop the rot brought on by Obama's poor showing in the first debate in Denver remains to be seen, but so far the reaction has been positive for the Democratic incumbent.
Our US voter panel were impressed on the whole with Joe Biden, and Rupert Cornwell concurs in his extended analysis here.
